(1 point) Responses decomposition decomposition single-replacement single-replacement double replacement double replacement synthesis synthesis Question 2 Looking at the equation above, is the Law of Conservation of Matter followed?(1 point) Responses No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 1 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 1 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 1 Oxygen, 1 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 1 Oxygen, 1 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side. No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on the reactant side but the product side is missing 1 of the Oxygen and 1 of the Hydrogen. No, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on the reactant side but the product side is missing 1 of the Oxygen and 1 of the Hydrogen. Skip to navigation

1. **What type of equation is represented above?**
- The reaction \(2NaOH + CuCl_2 → Cu(OH)_2 + 2NaCl\) is a **double replacement reaction**.
2. **Looking at the equation above, is the Law of Conservation of Matter followed?**
- Yes, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed because there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both the reactant and product sides: 2 sodium (Na), 2 oxygen (O), 2 hydrogen (H), 1 copper (Cu), and 2 chlorine (Cl).
So the correct responses are:
1. **double replacement**
2. **Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.**
- The reaction \(2NaOH + CuCl_2 → Cu(OH)_2 + 2NaCl\) is a **double replacement reaction**.
2. **Looking at the equation above, is the Law of Conservation of Matter followed?**
- Yes, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed because there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both the reactant and product sides: 2 sodium (Na), 2 oxygen (O), 2 hydrogen (H), 1 copper (Cu), and 2 chlorine (Cl).
So the correct responses are:
1. **double replacement**
2. **Yes, because there are 2 sodium, 2 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Copper, and 2 Chlorine on both the reactant and product side.**
